Second Episcopal Bishop "Abandons" Church

According to an Episcopal committee, Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh has "abandoned" the Episcopal Church. Unlike Bishop John-David Schofield of San Joaquin, Calif., however, Duncan can still perform his religious duties, according to the church.

Three senior bishops declined to inhibit Duncan, as they did Schofield earlier this month. No reason was given.

Perhaps it's because Duncan has yet to lead his diocese to secede from the Episcopal Church, as Schofield did last December.
